EXHIBIT A <br />quasar energy group, LLC, will meet with City officials after submitting a draft report for a review meeting. <br />Following the review meeting, the report will be finalized by incorporating the City's feedback. Deliverables <br />will be provided in both hard copy and digital format. <br />WASTE STREAM ANALYSIS <br />The Design Team will provide technical advisory and feasibility services to assist the City of South Bend in <br />evaluating the potential to incorporate outside waste streams for co -digestion into its anaerobic digesters. <br />Outside material has the ability to bring in additional revenue streams and increase gas production for the City, <br />however improvements are necessary to realize this potential. <br />To complete this analysis, we request the following data from the City: <br />1. Available hydraulic loading capacity (based on current max month loading), <br />2. Available organic loading capacity (based on current max month loading), <br />3. % solids in the feed to the digester, <br />4. Existing mixing system (based on what % solids) and heating system capacity (boilers and heat <br />exchangers), and flare. <br />5. Existing sludge pumping capacity. <br />6. Current gas production and gas treatment capacity, <br />7. Existing dewatering capacity. <br />8. Current average nutrient (BOD, Ammonia, TSS, P) loadings to the WWTP, and average plant influent <br />flow. <br />Our services for evaluating the co -digestion opportunity and necessary infrastructure include: <br />A. Existing Capacity Evaluation <br />The Design Team will evaluate the existing anaerobic digesters to determine if any capacity exists to <br />incorporate outside material. This work entails the following steps: <br />1. Establishment of City goals for outside material received and co -digestion program <br />2. High level desk top evaluation of sidestream nutrient load and available nutrient capacity in discharge <br />while still meeting NPDES requirements. <br />3. Recommendation on available capacity for outside waste across all process areas (digester, <br />dewatering, sidestrearn treatment, gas upgrade) and expected volumes that could be processed <br />4. High level concept and cost estimate for receiving infrastructure and additional upgrades that may be <br />needed based on current available digester capacity. <br />Exclusions: <br />1. Feedstock market analysis <br />2. Digester capacity expansion concept design and cost estimates <br />Anticipated Meetings for Both Tastes <br />1, Kickoff Meeting <br />2. Three Progress Meetings <br />3. One Final Review Meeting <br />Page 2 <br />201702407 <br />
